From then to now

What i have learnt from my preliminary task is how to make a magazine look authentic and professional in the real world but using different process and technologies such fireworks and blogger. I have also learnt that magazines have to use many techniques and research to get there magazine right for whatever they are doing their magazine for such as a school magazine and music magazine and that it takes time for a product to fully develop.

Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

How I have learnt to make an authentic magazine is by doing lots of research and looking at the conventions of other magazines and i tried to keep to conventions of music magazines, to make my authentic and look like other magazines but also I learnt to go against some of the conventions to make my magazine different but also to keep its authenticity as some things that are used in magazines are used in my magazine also to keep making it look professional. I have learnt about conventions in the magazine world which help a magazine to look professional as all of the magazine follow some conventions of magazines but they always go against them to make them different but to a professional level, also to make them look professional is the technology used also helps magazines look authentic as there are different effects and also the photographs are an important part making a magazine looking professional but also different.

Through research and advice from others I have been able to learn a lot about targeting but also attracting an audience as different people are attracted to different things and to target an audience was simply but colour schemes and photographs as photographs can target a certain group and a mass audience or a niche audience as well. So certain things will attract the attention of that group such as the colours and effects on the magazine. Photographs i have discovered attract an audience as some photos maybe bright and colour which would attract children but some are dark and moody to attract teenagers or adults depending on what the magazine is about.I have also learnt how to communicate to with a audience as my magazine is suppose to attract the teenage market it written in a formal way but also causal as teenagers are attracted to that tyoe of thing but also because they want to be interested and what to be able to relate to the article.

Overall I learnt a lot about making a magazine from research and feedback but also how to make it appeal to a certain audience maybe it be a mass audience or niche market. Importantly i have learnt processes to make an authentic magazine and professional looking as well.
